Abstract:
Critics who disliked Jane Campion's The Portrait of a Lady (1996) suggest she was wasting her talents on a high-budget adaptation in order to reach a mass audience. Yet Campion does not adapt Henry James's novel so much as interpret it. By boldly dramatizing the unconscious sexual desires that riddle James's melodramatic novel, Campion exposes the spaces where traditional gender ideology fails, loosening the gender codes upon which the pleasure of melodrama rests. The result is a feminist narrative that is attractive to the mainstream but also capable of leading the audience to consider social systems in place beyond the theater.

Abstract This article examines the challenge of partisanship to the free and open communication entailed by rich notions of democracy. Exploring the vexing riddle of how democratic citizens can balance openness and assertiveness in their dialogic interactions, I turn to the American pragmatist tradition for two important starting points. Drawing from William James and John Dewey, I highlight how the pragmatist tradition provides a nuanced reading of charity, both towards individuals and to situations. Charity is a choice of disposition, and it has vital implications for pragmatist rhetoric’s drive to instantiate a deep sense of democratic communication.

Abstract:
Long a puzzle to both its admirers and detractors across the world, the United States of America has, in the second decade of the twenty-first century, become more puzzling than ever. A variety of explanations has been proposed for America’s paradoxical combination of apparent “statelessness” and its capability to produce positive policy outcomes. This essay will argue that, properly understood, the structural features of America’s constitutional scheme of governance, largely credited to founder James Madison, provide a necessary but insufficient explanation of the “riddle of America”. The success of America’s “compound republic” (in Madison’s words), was intended to depend not only on the capacities of its basic governing structures – separation of powers, checks and balances, federalism, and pluralism – but, in extremis, on the inherent fairness of “the people”, both of which have been achieved in American history but neither of which can be guaranteed. The source of authority and, of equal importance, the legitimacy of American governing institutions and their outcomes is the faith placed in them by citizens, elected officials, and judges, requiring a sense of responsibility on the part of all to the principles that protect all. That the sense of responsibility on the part of some, as America’s recent political crises demonstrates, can fail, jeopardizes not only domestic liberty and justice but threatens the well being of peoples far distant.

Full text
Abstract:
ABSTRACT To an extent unnoticed in previous scholarship, Milton frequently engages passages from Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians in De Doctrina Christiana and Paradise Lost. This is attested not only in the exegesis that Milton undertakes in both works but also in Milton’s personal King James Bible in which a marginal annotation records his preference to translate Paul’s reference to seeing “through a glass, darkly” as “in a riddle” (1 Cor. 13:12). This essay argues that Milton’s wrestling with Pauline scripture during the composition of De Doctrina Christiana helps to explicate his recurring citation of 1 Corinthians 15:24–28 in Paradise Lost. In the poem’s scenes of heavenly council, God the Father and the Son predict—repeatedly, and without theological consensus—the apocalyptic state that Paul describes. This begets a Miltonic poetic style that conforms to Paul’s concept of divine mystery, or spiritual truth known imperfectly.

Abstract:
Superati «novant’anni d’impazienza» e dopo un lungo periodo votato all’autocommento e all’esplorazione delle proprie intenzioni, Raffaele La Capria ha raccolto le sue opere in due Meridiani curati da Silvio Perrella. La Capria ne ha celebrato l’uscita nella prolusione inaugurale di Salerno Letteratura, poi confluita nel breve autoritratto narrativo "Introduzione a me stesso" (2014). In questa sede, l’autore è tornato su alcuni punti essenziali della sua riflessione sulla scrittura, come la relazione, reciproca e ineludibile, fra tradizione e contemporaneità. All’epilogo del «romanzo involontario» di una vita, La Capria guarda retrospettivamente alla propria esperienza come ad un’autentica educazione intellettuale. Perciò, muovendo da un’intervista inedita del 2015, riportata integralmente in appendice, la tesi ha l’obiettivo di ricostruire l’apprendistato letterario di La Capria dai primi anni Trenta, quando l’autore ancora frequentava il ginnasio, fino all’inizio dei Sessanta, quando ottenne il premio che ne avrebbe assicurato il successo. Il percorso, che riesamina l’intera bibliografia lacapriana nella sua varietà e nella sua stratificazione, si articola in una serie di fasi interdipendenti: la partecipazione indiretta alle iniziative dei GUF (intorno alle riviste «IX maggio» e «Pattuglia»); l’incursione nel giornalismo e l’impegno culturale nell’immediato dopoguerra (sulle pagine di «Latitudine» e di «SUD»); l’attività di traduttore dal francese e dall’inglese (da André Gide a T.S. Eliot); l’impiego alla RAI come autore e conduttore radiofonico (con trasmissioni dedicate a Orwell, Stevenson, Saroyan e Faulkner); la collaborazione con «Il Gatto Selvatico», la rivista dell’ENI voluta da Enrico Mattei e diretta da Attilio Bertolucci; e le vicende editoriali dei suoi primi due romanzi, “Un giorno d’impazienza” (1952) e “Ferito a morte” (1961), fino alla conquista dello Strega. La rilettura dell’opera di uno scrittore semi-autobiografico come La Capria, attraverso il costante riscontro di fonti giornalistiche, testimonianze epistolari e documenti d’archivio che avvalorano e occasionalmente smentiscono la sua versione dei fatti, diventa allora un’occasione per immergersi nella sua mitografia personale e avventurarsi in territori finora poco esplorati: come la ricostruzione del suo profilo culturale, a partire dal milieu in cui La Capria vive e opera, o l’incidenza delle letture e delle esperienze giovanili sulla sua prassi letteraria.

Full text
Abstract:
AbstractAdopting a quadratic loss, the performance of an estimator can be measured in terms of its mean squared error which decomposes into a variance and a bias component. This introductory chapter contains two linear regression examples which describe the importance of designing estimators able to well balance these two components. The first example will deal with estimation of the means of independent Gaussians. We will review the classical least squares approach which, at first sight, could appear the most appropriate solution to the problem. Remarkably, we will instead see that this unbiased approach can be dominated by a particular biased estimator, the so-called James–Stein estimator. Within this book, this represents the first example of regularized least squares, an estimator which will play a key role in subsequent chapters. The second example will deal with a classical system identification problem: impulse response estimation. A simple numerical experiment will show how the variance of least squares can be too large, hence leading to unacceptable system reconstructions. The use of an approach, known as ridge regression, will give first simple intuitions on the usefulness of regularization in the system identification scenario.

Abstract:
Translations were usually valued slightly less than Dutch originals. Participants attributed the lowest mean scores for literary quality to E.L. James’ Fifty Shades of Grey. The Dutch publisher marketed the translations of the Fifty Shades trilogy as Literary novels. To find out if this label indeed suits the novels best, the chapter applies cluster analysis using Burrows’ Delta and principal components analysis (PCA). The same methods are used to explore five novels by Swedish author Henning Mankell, to see whether the style of his Literary novels differs from his Suspense novels. Finally, keyword analysis is applied to get an indication of the fluency of translations, to see whether the results may explain the differences in ratings of originals and translations.

Abstract Everyone is familiar with some Greek myths: that Oedipus solved the riddle of the Sphinx and married his mother, that the Argonauts sailed away in search of the Golden Fleece. Many poeple know that there is a large modern literature about mythology, from Sir James Frazer’s Golden Bough and Robert Graves’s Greek Myths to the dense and complex accounts given by Claude Levi-Strauss and the Structuralists. Myth is a very attractive subject, but the immense disagreements of the experts show that it is also a very difficult one. It was a brilliant stroke of George Eliot to show the learned Mr Casaubon, in Middlemarch, struggling to write a Key to all Mythologies, swamped and overwhelmed by masses of material on which he could not impose any intelligible order.

Full text
Abstract:
The development of comparison as technique is essential to the development of a proper academic study of religion. Beginning with Smith’s groundbreaking study of James Frazer’s The Golden Bough, the several essays of Jonathan Smith are critically engaged to situate comparison in its long history as Smith documented it, including modes, styles, and classes. The chapter examines Smith’s careful consideration of the technical details and implications of the comparative method. Centrally, comparison must be motivated by difference to be interesting; things considered unique or sui generis are outside comparison. Comparison is engaged by the creative interests of the comparer rather than the naturalness of the items compared. Gill develops comparison as an ongoing iterative process, akin to joke and riddle, essential to persistent academic (and ordinary) engagement with the world, essential even to perception, classification, and the acquisition of all knowledge.

Abstract:
This chapter examines Scott’s continued study at the Royal College of Art. Scott visits specialized movie theaters and is exposed to world cinema, including the films of Ingmar Bergman, and Japanese, French, Indian, and Hollywood movies. There was no formal film department at the college but one day Scott found an old movie camera and set out to make his first movie, Boy and Bicycle. The script, inspired by James Joyce’s novel Ulysses, was a stream-of-consciousness narrative. It starred Scott’s younger brother Tony, who would also become a noted film director. The short black-and-white film traced the boy on an odyssey he takes on his bike, learning about himself and his environment. Ridley Scott did everything on the project except the music, which he persuaded noted composer John Barry to provide. The significance of Boy and Bicycle is the launching of Ridley Scott as a film director.

Abstract It Was Shortly After Our meeting at Taylor’s pension that I again met Joyce, by chance this time, and we strolled through the double avenue of trees on the Utoquai from Bellevue towards Zu¨ rich Horn. To the left of us were the solid houses of Zürich burgesses, on our right the lake and on the far shore of the lake the green slopes and elegant contours of the Uetliberg ridge. “I am now writing a book,” said Joyce, “based on the wanderings of Ulysses. The Odyssey, that is to say, serves me as a ground plan. Only my time is recent time and all my hero’s wanderings take no more than eighteen hours.” A train of vague thoughts arose in my mind, but failed to take shape definite enough for any comment. I drew with them in silence the shape of the Uetliberg-Albis line of hills. The Odyssey for me was just a long poem that might at any moment be illustrated by some Royal Academician. I could see his water-colour Greek heroes, book-opened, in an Oxford Street bookshop window.

Abstract:
Abstract Not a ringing endorsement perhaps, but James was sure of one thing: that the common arguments against immortality need not deter us. In his 1898 Ingersoll Lecture on the Immortality of Man, James set out with his usual relish to kick over the obstacles to belief. Chief among those obstacles was a general climate of learned doubt. Our situation today is not so different. Although social surveys indicate that roughly 80% of Americans believe in life after death, it is a belief cherished against the grain of perceived official skepticism. Therefore it is a belief riddled with anxiety and doubt. While our ancestors worried about their fate at the seat of judgment and hun¬ gered for assurance that their sins would be dissolved, we moderns worry about our fate at the hands of death and hunger for assurance that our personalities will remain intact. To this worry and this hunger one can attribute much of the current fascination not only with life extension but also with personal transcendence of death.

Abstract Although young James Rapier was hoping to return south when the Civil War commenced, he had at least found religion and had settled into a steady life teaching in Buxton. His uncle Henry had committed himself to raising his family on a farm. Henry’s brother John Rapier Sr., after debating whether or not to leave Florence, had decided to ride out the southern troubles at home. But two of Sally Thomas’s family were still birds unwilling to perch. Both her son James Thomas and her grandson John Rapier Jr. continued to feel uncomfortable about worsening conditions in the South, so that when John Jr. took passage from Minnesota heading south along the Mississippi, he intended to return to the Caribbean, where he had traveled with his uncle James Thomas. James, too, was unsettled. But unlike John Rapier Jr., he had not given up on the Midwest.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter is the first of three on the development of Robert Burns’s biography, focusing on the poet’s self-fashioning and biographical construction from the publication of Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect (1786) to the eighth edition of James Currie’s Life and Works of Burns (1820), which features significant new contributions by Burns’s brother Gilbert. The chapter is structured in three parts. The first analyses Burns’s development of his own poetic persona in the 1786 preface to the Kilmarnock edition of his poems, and explores key early reviews and responses to his work which help to establish Burns’s early biography. The second section focuses on biographical studies by Maria Riddell and Robert Heron, which appeared shortly after the poet’s death. The third considers James Currie’s correspondence with Burns’s acquaintances, undertaken as the biographer prepared the first posthumous Life and Works of Burns (1800), ending with an analysis of Currie’s popular and influential biography.

Full text
Abstract:
The vehicle has become an intelligent product by innovative technologies. However, most of the new technologies address human safety, such as lane keeping or emergency brake assistance. The smart optimization of the driver’s well-being through sensitivity of the technology has been neglected so far. Thus, this study investigates the influence of emotion-sensitive lighting on the driver. Individual light interactions are based on detected emotions of the driver to enhance the individual driving experience. IntroductionLight and colors have an archaic effect on humans (Goldstein 2015). They trigger the human diencephalon to release the serotonin as well as cortisol. For example, light blue components in the light suppress melatonin release. This driver feels awake or concentrated. (Sabine Harrasko-Kocmann) Different factors such as traffic jams, aggressive driving behavior of other road users and challenging weather conditions have a negative impact on the driver’s feeling (Bitkina et al. 2019). The consequences are negative emotions such as anger, fear and worry, which in turn lead to inattention and insecurity. Also factors like tiredness and physical exhaustion can impact the human well-beeing. As a result, the driver is unfocused and annoyed after the ride or agitated and restless. Furthermore, stress for example, increases the risk of accidents because people become inattentive (Evers 2011). To counteract this and positively influence the driving experience, specific lighting interactions are intended to enhance the driver's feelings. In this work, lighting is used to influence the driver's mood. The aim of the study is to investigate whether the targeted use of light contributes to increase the well-being and which use-cases are particularly suitable.ApproachFig.1 shows the scientific approach for this work. Firstly, requirements are defined. They are based on a literature review on the psychological effects of light, an investigation of the target groups and a reflection on highly emotional driving situations. For testing, three use cases are defined in detail. The first deals with increasing the driver's concentration, the second with targeted stress reduction and the third with positive reinforcement of emotion. They include the emotional level of the driver, his or her journey start and destination, the target emotion, and the light interaction to achieve this emotion. A vehicle-prototype is modified to test the individual scenarios. Besides LED strips along the windscreen, the door frames and interior ambient lights, screens are installed in the doors and the roof [Fig.2]. In this way, not only individual light colors and intensities can be visualized, but also more complex, dynamic movements. To get a uniform effect the interior lights are synchronized with the visualization of the screens.Fig.2: CAD rendering of the prototype. One screen is placed in each of the doors and one in the roof. LED strips run along the windscreen and door frame. Ambient lights at the whole interior.For the qualitative study, 35 test persons are interviewed by using the prototype [Fig.3]. All test persons passing though the three use-cases. In order to measure the success of the light effect, the pulse and surface moisture of the skin are measured. In addition, there is a discussion before and after each use case. ConclusionThe prototype has been built and the lightning interaction implemented. During the preparation of this abstract, the user testings are conducted. The full paper and also the oral presentation will show more details about the methodology and the evaluation of the testing.
